Abstract • Introduction • Low pH triggers fate conversion in somatic cells • Low-pH-induced Oct4 + cells have pluripotency • STAP cells compared to ES cells•
Germ Cells vs Somatic Cells Cells, as we all know, are the primary units of life in humans and in other living things. As we all know, cells were discovered by
Adult Stem Cells. The primary role of adult stem cells in humans is to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found. While we call them adult stem cells
Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells.
Stem cells play many important roles in our bodies from embryonic development through adulthood. Supported by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Grant No
Discover Therapies and Treatments from Adult Stem Cells
Somatic stem cells (also called adult stem cells) exist naturally in the body. They are important for growth, healing, and replacing cells that are lost through daily
Adult stem cells (or Somatic Stem Cell): Stem cells that are harvested from tissues in an adult body. These cells are usually multipotent, meaning they can
The possibility that through cloning technology we will learn to renew activity of damaged cells by growing new cells and replacing them. •
